Have you noticed that even the Youtube links are screwed? They're now showing some gaming video lol!

Hi. post pics!

Lol, I just came here to post up that video - and discovered you had already done it Thanks!

Hi all. Been lurking on here for about a year and now the build is finished I thought it's about time to introduce myself and my car! I'll try add more details and pics when I get the chance, but for now here's a quick overview: I'm KJ, owner of the Fiat/Lancia specialist tuning business Voodoo Tuning. My previous car was a fiat Coupe 16V Turbo, built and tuned by me to 430 bhp / 400 lbft - the most powerful Coupe 16VT in the UK for a while. Last year the Coupe finally succumbed to rust cancer. I'd heard the engine would bolt in to the GTV, both cars being based on the Tipo floorpan. So I decided to re-shell the engine in a GTV. Well the engine did bolt in - but that was about it! Literally everything else had to be modified: fuel system, drivetrain, suspension, even the cooling fans. Cue non-stop 6 month build; a good friend of mine working on the fabrication, and myself working on the wiring and engine. I'll try add more details and pics when I get the chance, but for now here are a few: BTW, can you think of a good designation for this car? GTV16T? GTV 16VT? ...?

Hmm, maybe £1200 or so? Quick look on Ebay showed a low mileage one for £1900, but I kinda doubt it will sell for that much V6's, which are much more desirable, seem to be going for £3000-£4000

"Carbon fibre sparks"

Does this mean that your car can now legitimately suffer "danger to the manifold", which somehow makes the floorpan fall off - Fast & Furious style?

Well that's a "left-field" question for a car forum! Is the rat in your GTV?? I dunno, Rat trap? Cat? Wait for it to chew the wires and electrocute itself?

Forums need thumbs-up buttons. Oh well, this will have to do!

Very nice!

Must be these: https://www.ebay.co.uk/i/283101217559?chn=ps

Finally got the chance to fit the brakes I bought last year! GTV V6 305mm discs custom brackets Mintex standard pads Renault Clio/Megane Sport calipers Why Renault calipers? Because they are radially mounted, which meant my friend could make brackets to fit the hub mounts. Took an absolute age to find calipers that were: a) commonly available, b ) the right size for the discs, c) radial mounting. The only other technical difference between these and actual GTV calipers is that these have equal size pistons, whereas GTV ones have two larger pistons and two smaller. The combined piston area is identical though.

Hi. It was originally a 2.0 TS. We couldn't use the TS shocks because the hub mounts don't fit the Coupe hub carriers. Completely pointless difference when they could easily have used the same shocks and hubs for both cars, but hey that's Italian for you! There are other ways of making suspension fit but this was ours - and it also was the least complicated; pretty much all-Coupe components.

Great looking cars. Love the livery on the track car!

Is that your GTV on the front page? It looks absolutely amazing! BTW. Is your oem-style carbon bonnet significantly stronger/lighter than the oem composite bonnet, or is it just for the bling?

Welcome to the No Boot Space Club!

Very nice!

Nice spoiler. Needs colour-matching though

Looks gorgeous!

Don't think I replied to this, sorry. I'm in Uxbridge, Greater London.

This is the only one that is has been dyno tested to 542 Nm (400 lb-ft). As far as I'm aware, none of the others are rated to anything close to this. Clutch engagement is very light and smooth. None of the judder you get from a paddle clutch. Also, much lighter action than a Helix organic clutch. Feels almost like standard. Yes, it would handle the same torque on a AWD car. Though if you like to do a lot of AWD drag starts, I can do a paddle version of this clutch

I wasn't impressed with the clutches currently available from other companies; either overpriced, poor quality and/or horrible to drive on the road. So I developed my own clutch. The friction material is Kevlar and can handle 542 Nm, yet still feels like OEM
